Not quite the same. The Pfizer jab lowers the infection rate and death rate far more than Sinovac.

If you're over the age of 10, get vaccinated with one of the mRNA vaccines.

Xi might be between a rock and a hard place.
- the Chinese public lack any natural immunity, 2) the SinoVac vaccine is not particularly effective 3) Even now when the Chinese have an mRNA vaccine, there is a deep-rooted distrust of that technology 4) the elderly are the least likely to get vaccinated as they don't trust the government and 5) the coronavirus has evolved mutants that are even more transmissible
If China opens up, there might be a resulting pandemic that could be more severe than what China already went through in 2019/2020
